Chamber to sell building

SOUTHERN PINES — The Moore County Chamber of Commerce announced it is listing its building for sale. The chamber built the current facility and has occupied it since 1994. Jeff Hutchins, chamber board chair, said in a press release during the past several years, chamber services have shifted from a centralized location to occurring throughout the county, at member locations. Small business owners can’t get away to participate in chamber programs.

“So now we take the chamber to them,” he said.

The chamber will continue to operate out of its existing location for the foreseeable future.
